Where: Eastpoint Centre, Burgoyne Rd, Southampton SO19 6PB

ABOUT THE SEMINAR:

How to listen so children will talk ! Children and Young People try to tell or
communicate in many ways, many of them not including speech.  Adults need to be
able to be with a child in a way that enables the child or young person to feel
comfortable and heard on many levels.  It should not be the child or young
person's fault if the adult fails in this and the child or young person is not
able to tell or to be heard.

It will include information about how children and young people tell, what stops
children and young people from telling, neurobiology, blame, shame, 'telling'
behaviours and attachment.  This will include how to listen when a child or
young person has no speech.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

This seminar will benefit anyone who works with or cares for children and young
people, whether a parent or a professional.  It will be particularly useful for:
social workers, teachers, police, staff working within CAMHs or Connexions or
SureStart or Youth Advisory Services, child protection leads/agencies,
psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists and counsellors working within
the statutory and non-statutory sector.
